TABLE ATTACHMENT FOR CHAIRS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 382,687, dated May 15. 1888.

Application filed August 11, 1885.

To all whom it ina/y concern: V

Be it known that I, ANSON A. BURLIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at J ames town, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented a new and' useful Table Attachment for Chairs, of which the following is a specification.

' My improvement relates to providing chairs with a detachable table which may be firmly attached to a chair by means provided by my invention, or entirely and expeditiously removed therefrom, as occasion mayv require. attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a bottom view of the table, showing my attachment and locking devices for securing said table to an ordinary high chair for children; and Fig. 2, a detailed view in perspective of one side of the upper part of such chair with the table attached and locked thereto by my devices.

Similar letters refer to similar parts th roughout each View.

The table A is provided with the stationary lug B, having an angular arm, 0, with a recess in its outer end, and the other end ofthe table A is provided with a pivoted lug,'E, having a like recessed arm, 0, and a pivoted lockingbar, D.

To attach and lock the table A to the chair, the table is placed on the arms of the chair so that the recessed arm 0 of the stationary lug B embraces the first spindle on that side of the chair which is opposite spindle h. (Shown in'Fig. 2. The lug E is then swung on its pivot f so that its recessed arm 0 shall em- Serial 1%. 174,177. (No model.)

brace the spindle or standard h, and the locking-bar D is then'swung on its pivotg over and against thelug E, as shown in Fig. 2, holding it firmlyin its position. It is evident that to detach the table from the chair it is only necessary to swing back the locking-bar D and the lug E, when the table and its attachments can be freely removed from the chair.

Having thus described my improvement, what I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of the arms and spindles of a chair, a table adapted to rest upon said arms, and a. lug, B, immovably secured to said table, and having a recessed arm, a, open on one side to receive one of the spindles of the chair, with a lug,.E, pivotally secured to said table, and having a recessed arm, 0, open on one side to receive one of the spindles of the chair, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. The combination of the arms and spindles of a chair, a'table'resting upon said arms, and alug, B, secured to said table, and having a recessed arm, 0, open on one side to receive one of the spindles of the chair,with a lug, E, pivotally secured to said table, and having a recessed arm, 0', open on one side to receive one of the spindles of the chair, and the lockingbar D, pivoted to the table and adapted to bear against the side of the lug E, substan-' tially as and for the purpose described.
